Month: May 2013

I never plan to have a flawless boyfriend, or marry a perfect husband. The reason is because they’re not exist, and even though they’re exist, I don’t think I deserve with him, or if he’s insist to be with me, I just don’t think it going to works. I’ll get much pressure here and there. So having a perfect partner is not in my agenda.

I ever had a bad relationship, I was so lost back then. I knew he’s not the right person, but he was really nice to me. We just be together until I was too tired to continue the journey. We broke up.

And I met him. He wasn’t all I expected to be my partner of life. In some ways, we are so much alike, but we’re totally having so manyyy different things. But here we are. We’ve been through thick and thin. We never tired to be together. We can’t miss a day without talking with each other.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

We’ve been told for years that extra virgin olive oil is bursting with healthful goodness, and that we should pour it all over everything. It’s full of the good kind of fat! It has antioxidants! It reduces heart disease! It has natural anti-inflammatory compounds! The good news is that all of that is true. The bad news? Your brand of olive oil might not be extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil is among the most adulterated food products sold on the world market.

The amount of unsaturated fat in olive oil, however, means that olive oil protects against heart disease and even help control blood sugars in diabetics. An anti-oxidant known as DHPEA-EDA, which can help protect red blood cells and reduce the amount of low density lipoproteins (LDLs — the bad cholesterol) in the human body, is readily found in olive oil. That is…assuming that you actually are consuming extra virgin olive oil.

If you are using real extra virgin olive oil, and not the adulterated grocery store version, then olive oil isn’t actually very good for high-heat cooking. Olive oil can be used for sautéing, of course, but to really enjoy the flavor of true extra-virgin olive oil, it’s best used as a dressing for salads, soups, cheeses, and pastas. Highly refined olive oil is stable at higher temperatures, but it lacks the flavor of cold pressed EVOO.

If you look from outside the bottle, the color is soft pink with lot of shimmer, but don’t worry, it will look transparent with a bit hint of pink when you applied it on your face.

It will naturally makes your face looks glowy and healthy and perfect for daily uses.

How to use it?

Using this product is really easy, only need a few dots then swipe it into the browbones / cheekbones / down the bridge of my nose (ssttt… your nose will look more sharp and define!)

PRO

The texture is just right, a bit thick but creamy, and that make it more last longer than powder highlighter, but you don’t have to worry it looks fake, it will blend so easily on your skin.

The packaging is similar to nail polish bottle, so you don’t have to pour it into your hand.

I think High Beam is really worth for the price, because it lasts forever!

CON

I’m a bit worry about the sanitary, because you use the brush directly on your skin, then put back the brush into the bottle. So far, i don’t have any problem at my skin after using this product, but I don’t think I will let somebody borrow because of that matter. So I don’t think buy preloved High Beam is good idea.

I tried my best to show the glowy effect on this photo, but I don’t think it worked. My bad. But believe me, It looks nice in real life!

Taling Pling has many branches, but I always visit the one at Siam Paragon. The place is really convenient, even though crowded with many people and the price is very reasonable too! If you look at the menu, it’s like you want to order all of them!

But, I think this restaurant not really pay attention to the details, the presentation of the food is not really good, a bit messy, it’s like the just put it on the plate without effort to make it appealing. Other than that, I love this restaurant, you should consider to visiting this place.

Actually, I came to this place because this is the branch from the one at Osaka, and luckily they have same quality. For Thailand standard, the price is kind of expensive, because the other ramen only cost 120-150bath, while this one is cost about 250bath. But since it has sentimental memories, I always revisit this place when I came to Bangkok.

Recommended Food : Abura Soba

Another Hound by Greyhound

Address : Siam Paragon Bangkok, 1st Floor

This is the place you should go if you want to relax and have a nice chit chat. The ambience is really nice, the waiters in there really nice and helpful, and the presentation of the food is really appetizing. It serves fusion Thai Food and mostly western food.

Recommended Food : Tom Yum

The Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel

It claimed as the best buffet in Bangkok. They have wide selections of food. You can have foie gras, oyster, crab, lamb chop, steak, pasta, etc. But I’m a bit disappointed with the dessert. They really have to improve the variants, because it really not appetizing for me.

Maybe I’ll edit this post in the future if I have another Bangkok trip! :D

Vitamin A (retinoid)

What it does: Fades brown spots and smooths roughness.Where to find it: Lotion, treatment creams and night creams (vitamin A derivatives are known as retinoids), and prescription products.

How to use it: Apply retinoids only at night, since sunlight inactivates most forms of vitamin A. Prescription retinoids work fastest, within four to eight weeks.

Note: Some retinoids can cause redness, scaling, and flaking. If you’re new to retinoid use, start by applying every second or third night for the first two weeks, and build up to nightly use. Apply sparingly; a pea-size amount is enough to cover your entire face.

Vitamin B3 (niamcinamide)

How to use it: For maximum results, apply B3 vitamins twice a day. To reduce irritation from your retinoid, use it in conjunction with niacinamide by mixing them together in the palm of your hand before applying.

Vitamin C

What it does: Helps smooth the skin and fades dark spots. It also destroys the free radicals that trigger sagging and other aging changes.

Where to find it: Serums and moisturizers. Look for C near the middle of the ingredients panel to help ensure the 5% or higher concentration.

How to use it: Apply vitamin C in the morning before applying sunscreen.

I named it Dippy Dip Nails because it’s like you dipping your nails into paint and then dipping its once more! The other color combination idea can be : blue-yellow-black. It gonna be sunflower in the blue sky! Will try it someday. :)
